A little OT, but a few summers ago, we were up in Northern Alberta, Canada vacationing. From Jasper we took a trip to a glacier. Out on the glacier were mini streams carved at varying depths, with the water moving quickly to find its way down the glacier. I watched the vehicle drivers bend down and fill their bottles with this water and drink it. They drink it on a daily basis. He said the water we're seeing is a 100 years old or older and quite safe. So my son and I gave it a shot... it had the most wonderful taste! Like a full bodied taste but not too much of anything... hard to explain, very clean, not a visible spec of anything. Those drivers were probably as healthy as can be. I can see why the Hunza liked glacial water. Terri L.
